The Devil's Calling

(album: Pain Paints Paintings - 2021)

Straight from the depths of hell
The Devil's calling he might win a couple battles but I promise he will not prevail
These words are what I use post bail (LexNour)
My people trapped inside these chains they got us thinking in these jail cells
So keep it quiet when I'm spitting real
The way we living isn't right and ye I bet that's how 2Pac would feel
This generation different had to go and cop a shield and keep myself away from addicts glorifying popping pills
This is energy of Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr., Harry Tubman, Emmett Till
Look to God then I kneel
Ye the Devil's calling he's been looking for the weak but I promise we won't sign and seal
Ye this is not game
The Devil's calling on my people stay inside and please be quiet when he screams your name
He tried to lead me down the wrong way
I used to question God but after what I've seen, I'll never do that shit again
These verses biblical I rap and pray that everyday the people watching listen and a-heed to the things I say
I've been through it, felt pain, been down, felt rage, bounced back, seen God, bowed down, got saved
Not from the streets I'm on the sidewalk advocating peace
I want to see all my people win and set free
I'm here to tell you that you better know that God sees and if you do not listen he will humble you right to your knees
Fuck fame, fuck greed, all the material things
The Devil's in sheep's clothing he gives what you don't need
Keep ye eyes open, don't sleep
And if you do be aware he will visit you inside your dreams
And once you wake up he will not leave
His speeds 5G everywhere and scrolling on your phone screen
Tapped in, force feed, front row, nose bleeds
Old friends, home team, come home, don't leave
So listen close 'cause I'ma say it slow
The Devil's watching every move you make and every single place you go
I used to think that I was all alone until I felt him breathing down my neck while I was sleeping right inside my home
I tried to wake up but but the Devil had me in a hold
I tried to move, he paralyzed my skeleton and all my bones
And that's when I called God and then I shouted out Amen and I can put that on the Father, Son, Holy Spirit and the ghost
That I will not fold
That I will never crack, never sell my soul
6'2" standing on my faith, I feel 9'4"
Walking on this path I could do it with a blindfold
Devil tried play me for my faith like a console
Hell no
Stayed down, ten toes, hands up, case closed
They know to stand strong as the rain pours to
Wait till the gates close and pray as the pain goes
Everything you see is not what is seems
Even the nicest people that you meet have devilish genes
In this world full of evil we all sinners and fiends
The Devil's calling on us but we gotta let that phone ring
Straight from the depths of hell
The Devil's calling he might win a couple battles but I promise he will not prevail
These words are what I use to post bail
My people trapped inside these chains, they got us thinking in these jail cells
This is energy of Malcolm X, Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr., Harry Tubman, Emmett Till
Look to God, then I kneel
Ye the Devil's calling he's been looking for the weak but I promise we won't sign and seal

Amen
Stand up
Take this walk with me
It's Dax
